The first place to look is my comprehensive FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) which should help answer some of the most common questions. Check it out here:

There are also professional services which will handle everything for you, but these can run up to $50 per tape, which gets costly.

• Buy (or locate, borrow or find) a camera or video player
• Buy (or locate, borrow or find) a capture device
• Play back and record all those old memories
